LOYOLA ' COLLEGE Page 24 REVIEW The AZ X also sponsors a softball team that competes with the College boarders in the Evening Softball League. Last year the team won the championship, and in the current schedule it is tied for first place. In the club's annual pool tournaments Frank ''Knobby'' Walsh surprised the onlookers by de- feating Livius Sherwood in the Loyola Arms Tournament and Jacques Dorval for the championship of the Senior Table. Sherwood was also runner up for the Junior Trophy won by Bob Sawyer. Thus ends the notes of a full and successful year of club activities. The cooperation of the mem- bers is much appreciated by the executive. The chronicle would not be complete if we failed to express our gratitude to the Prefect, Father Sutton, and to the Moderator, Father Sherry, whose assistance and advice contributed much to our success. FERNANDO MOLINA, H.S. '40. Jason The sun was shining bright that day, But in their midst he threw a stone The bulls in breathing burnt the hay, Because he had to fight alone. For they were very fierce, you know, Though all these men were quite pugnacious, And entered with a loud bellow. He turned them back like brave Horatius. But Jason, through Medea's hokum, In civil strife they all were slain. Was going to take the bulls and yoke ‘ет. As Jason had to fight again The Argonauts, with great applause, He quickly finished up this bout Now cheered him on with loud burrabs. And sat him down and took time out. The bulls began to belch their fire Refreshed at length it was his aim And quickly raised young Jason's ire. To make the sleepless dragon tame, He fiercely grabbed them by the horns, And so to sleep the beast he put But they did stamp upon his corns. With mixture made of spit and soot. He grabbed them by their dewlaps too, Decided be to sail for Greece And so did yoke them two by two. Possessing now the Golden Fleece, Spectators now began to cheer But since Medea'd saved his life, And hymned the gods both far and near. He took her with him as his wife. He then sowed teeth row on row This rhyme was written just for you And they at once began to grow. By Hammond, Brown—McMullen too, The men began to sprout like plants And though it may seem rather poor And ran about like busy ants. We're sure you're glad there isn't more. Тнікр Hıca B.

LOYOLA Page 23 COLLEGE REVIEW (Chit Notes ALPHA SIGMA CHI AND KAPPA PI SIGMA The results of the voting for Club Officers held in June 1938 were as follows :— T2431 7 771 ое а RIESE WALTER CLARKE VG A EV EIT Е E ESEL EUGENE GAVIN NE aee anne dso era SOAS FERNANDO MOLINA РОР CONBCHJOET: а. aia OLEGARIO MOLINA Francis WALSH Junior Санте ПОР... . eS DouGLAs Conn The new executive did not take office until the beginning of the Fall Term. At the first weekly meeting in September plans were discussed for the year and club regulations laid down. The first event of the year was the Initiation Night held on Hallowe'en. All new members were obliged to appear on the stage set up in the recreation hall, pay their homage to the president and perform the prescribed ritual. The prize events of the evening were Mickey Carriére's attempt to sit on a bottomless chair, the paper fight won by Manuel Mier y Teran and the expressed opinion of Frank Fonseca that guerilla warfare ensued when the sides were up to monkey tricks. Refreshments then topped off the entertainment. The next Club Night held in November took the form of a banquet in honour of the High School football teams. Presentations to the coaches and awards to the Letter men accompanied by songs and speeches were the order of the evening. With a view to filling in the Fall evenings, the executive organized a relay ball league. The championship went to the Latin team. The most pretentious undertaking sponsored by the clubs was the Annual Ice Carnival held in February. The stadium was gaily decorated, an amplifying system installed and a hockey match between St. Leo's Academy and Loyola was arranged for the Canon Heffernan Trophy. Between periods of the game speed skating contests were held. Afterwards there was skating for all. The pre-Lenten Club Night was begun by a hockey match in which the members were divided into the Maroons and the Whites. Sherwood in the Whites’ goal held off the Maroons' scorers until late in the third period when Molina and Gavin combined to even the count and end the game with the score one all. This result provided cause for argument both in the dressing room and during the refreshment period in the club. After the Easter recess a Sugar Party was held. Nearly all, dressed in what looked like the remains of a rummage sale, left Montreal West on the noon train. At Strathmore all piled into a truck and were taken within a mile of the bush. After wading through mud and water late arrivals at the bush were assailed by snowballs, whereupon a fight ensued. The battle was merely an appetizer for the maple syrup and trimmings. The party was one of the best events of the year. Besides the gala occasions mentioned the club also organized a cheering section to accompany the College team to MacDonald for the final football match of the year. During November another trip was made to the beaver colony outside Montreal where the beavers could be seen in natural surroundings.
